EDITOR INDIAN CHIEFTAIE:-In
looking over the CHIEFTAIN Of the
10th inst, see that Washington
Adair has taken up and criticised
the articles written by "Young"
and "Old Voter" "Fullblood, "
"Vinita," and others. So far as
the above are concerned, / have no
doubt they are fully able to speak
for themselves. But with regard
to misrepresenting the Downing
party on Adair's statement, l shall
attempt a reply. He is in error in
some respects. II is TO be wonder
ed that he should have supposed
the people in this nation are so
ignorant of the history OF the
Downing party. We cheerfully
make the correction as it is our
desire only to report facts. In the
first place he says: "To listen to
such talk as this, when it was
started by the very men who
Uncle William opposed as long as
he lived. And why, because they
were his opponents; not only OPP
ponents, but bitter enemies 10 him.
Why, because VIM. p. Adair be-
longed to the Downing party,
patriotic and loyal. This is a fact

DEPUTY MARsHALS.
Their Duties-What They Should,
and What They Shouldn't Do.


United States Marshal John
Carol, has issued the following
letter of instructions
TO DEPUTY MARsHALs.
In order to inform you of the
propriety or impropriety of many
things which you are called upon
to decide for yourselves, without
opportunity Of consultation, and
to point out in general way your
line Of duty, / have thought
proper to address you this circular
letter, and ask your careful atten-
tion to il:
1. Deputies are not allowed to
carry arms only when engaged in
good faith in the attempt to serve
process. When off duty, the car
rying Of weapons is forbidden by
law.
2. No deputy is allowed 10
make arrests ouside the limits OF
his district, no matter whether the
crime charged against the prisoner
was committed in or out OF his dis
trict.
3. No deputy is permitted to go
into the Indian country and bring
out to the State Jurisdictions any
property, except such as he may
have legal process for. Deputies
can not act as agents of individu-
ais 10 collect detbs or recover prop
erty, where 10 do so involves tres
pass upon the property Of resi-
dents OF the Indian country.
A. Deputies are not allowed TO
file informations in cases Of bigamy
or in proceedings to put an Offend
er under a peace bond. IN ordi-
nary cases deputies must see the
witnesses by whom they expect to
sustain the charge before they will
be allowed q writ. This should
be strictly observed: First, as a
protection TO the citizen from un-
necessary arrest; second, as a pro-
lection TO the Government against
useless expense, and third, as q
protection 10 the deputy, whose ac-
counts are disallowod if the evil
dence shows a prosecution TO have
been frivolous.
B. Deputies should procure
warrants in all cases before at
tempting TO make arrests; but may
arrest offenders where the crime
Is committed in their presence, or
where being satisfied, in good
faith, that a crime has been com
mitted, they have good reason to
believe that the criminal will es-
cape before a writ can be procured.
9. Deputies can not send their
guards or posse to perform inde-
pendent services in the name Of

your informant says. Since his
uncle is gone they have come out
as the leaders 0 he party his
uncle founded. is another
slip. Bunch and mis- party never
did belong to the Downing party,
nor yet as leaders of said party.
Finally he says: "I for one, will
not dishonor Uncle's name by fol-
lowing these men," "He has let
his right hand know what his left
hand is doing" And he asserts
and charges the opposite doctrine
upon the Downing party as q
dangerous doctrine held by us.
And thus again he presumes upon
the Ignorance Of his people, but we
think that he is himself either
ignorant or else fearfully dishonest
in this respect.
Was mortal man ever more in
consistent and contradictory with
himself than Washington Adair2
Time would fail me to tell of all
the errors into which he has fallen.
What | have noticed and corrected
must suffice for the present. These
corrections have not been made in
a belligerent spirit and l regret the
necessity of making them at all.
With due respects to Washington
Adair, | will say that he must not
render any such judgment on the
Downing party with any expecta-
tion of leading or converting any of
us to the National party religion.
In conclusion, reason, not preju-
dice is our guide in our choice Of
Mayes and Smith for chiefs. The
highest considerations of our ma
TONS welfare, prosperity and
happiness are the basis of our
argument, civilization and progress.

tribe, live in, VINITA.

WHY CATTLE ARRLoW.

The New York Commercial Bull
letin stated that the low price of
live stock was greatly due to the
preference given by the Chicago
commission merchants. to the
dressed beef shippers. The Drov-
ers Journal Of the latter place de-
nies the truth of this statement
and assigns the following reasons
why the producer does not get
more for his cattle:
/. BY badly over-stocked ranges.
2. Quarantines by all the North
ern sections.
3. Railway and general labor
strikes.
A. Glut, and demoralized foreign
meat markets.
8. The heaviest marketing OF
beef cattle ever known in a like
period.
6. The general depression Of
trades and industries all over the
country.
Z. The pool of railroads running
east from Chicago on the 1st OF
last March raised their rate 40 per
cent. on live stock and 80 per cent.
on dressed beef. This took s1.25
per head off from every head of
beef cattle.
8. The Oleomargarine bill took
off from 800 to $3.50 more, aggre-
eating over seven million five hun
dred thousand dollars in this mar
ket alone, TO say nothing about the
other numerous markets of the
West; and this vast amount of
money goes into the United States
Treasury, which is already over
flowing, and into the pockets of
the railway magnates, and it all
comes out Of the producers and
consumers,

MARsHALINa OF THE CLANS.

As day by day the first Monday
in August approaches, more
decided, and perhaps more
acrimonious, will become the
contest between the two political
parties Of the country for victory
and supremacy. On account of the
tolerance Of free speech and the
now habitual expression of opinion
Of the acts Of public men, and the
criticisms on party principles, a
new era in politics has opened.
Intimidation and terrorism which
sileneed so long the exposure of
public wrongs have seen their day.
Many an honest, worthy and
patriotic man, who has recommen-
dation and attempted reformation
in the administration of our ma
tional affairs, has been singled out
as subjects for political annihila-
tion, and by false reports, libelous
representations, have been forced
into obscurity. But now a new
order Of things has taken place.
Armed with the power of free
speech, and free press, in which
the CHIEFTAIN is pioneer and
leader, to the columns of which all
parties have impartial access, vic
tory will be with the right. Blow
for blow can now be given, wrong
and falsehood exposed, and in the
new dawn of honest purpose, equal
and impartial justice to all, our
nation verifies the fact that the
elements of progress are at work,
and that we have a future to be
proud of.

EDITOR INDIAN CHIEFTAIN: -
remember once reading n story Of
an Irishman who in passing along
a road observed a bull in a field
paving the earth and believing at
n powerful rate. The Irishman
looked at him a moment and OBJ
served, "Begorah it would be a
fine joke on ye if should get over
there and take yc by the horns and
rub your nose in the dirt" and
the idea amused him so that he
laughed heartily. Then he pro-
ceeded TO execute the brilliant
conception, but no sooner had he
touched the ground upon the in
side Of the fence then the bull
lifted him upon his horns and
tossed him back again. He
Strengthened himself up and solilo-
quized, "beJabbers it's fOin thing

Mr.. Geo. e. Foster, author Of the
life of Sequoyah, is on a visit to
the Indian Territory, in search oi
material for contemplated history
of the Cherokees, in which other
tribes, as cooperatives, will be
historically dealt with. He is now
at Tahlequah, where he is collect
ing material by observation and
otherwise, as to habits, character
istics, tastes and peculiarities OF
the people. That he is fully COM
petent for the task, his histo.S of
Sequoyah is sufficient evidence.
Such an enterprise should be
literally encouraged, and every
thing that can contribute to its
furiherance be willingly rendered.
He will visit other parts of the
country to note the present condi-
tion of the people, and the promise
and character of advancement
among them. Everything, includ-
ing government, laws, institutions,
social relations and customs, will
perhaps, receive his attention. As

guard is to see that prisoners dc
not break custody and to perform
such other service rs he and the
other deputy agree upon. The
duty of posse is TO assist the dep,
uty in the performance of duties
where the nature of the service
makes IL unsafe for the deputy &c
act alone.
z. No accounts for services
performed by posse will be allowed
any deputy, unless such service
was performed in his presence and
by his direction. The account OF
a posse must include only charges
for the time between the date OF
his employment and the date oi
the last arrest by the deputy, with
additional time as the posse may
require for going from the place OF
such last arrest to his place OF res
idenoe. This posse account of s3.-
90 per day in the property of the
posse and not an allowance to the
deputy.
8. The following is the statute
with reference to false accounts;
EVERY person who makes or caus-
es to be made, or presents or caus-
es to be presented, for payment or
approval, to or by any person or
officer in the civil, military or ma
val service of the United States,
any claim upon or against the
Government of the United States,
or any department or officer there
of, knowing such claim to be false,
fictitious, or fraudulent, or who,
for the purpose of obtaining or aid
ing to obtain the payment or ap-
proval of such claim, makes, uses,
or causes to be made or used, any
false bill, receipt, voucher, roll, ac-
count, claim, certificate, affidavit,
or deposition, knowing the same
to contain any fraudulent or fcti-
tious statement or entry, or who
enters into any agreement, combi-
nation, or conspiracy to defraud
the Government of the United
States, or any department or Off
Ger thereof, by obtaining or aiding
to obtain the payment or allowance
Of any false or fraudulent claim,
every person so offending in any of
the matters set forth in this sec
tion shall be imprisoned at hard la
Dor for not less than one nor more
than five years, or fined not less
than one thousand nor more than
five thousand dollars" f."
8. The subsistence of prisoners,
after arrest, is matter to which
especial attention is called. Depu-
ties are allowed only the actual
cost of food consumed by prison
ers and this should not exceed the
sum of seventy-fve cents each per
day. The food Of the deputy,
posse and guards must not be in
cluded in this charge at all. The
deputy can make such arrange
ment as he chooses for the feeding
of himself and guards; and the
posse receives $500 per day in
full of his claim for services rem
derd.
10. The law provides that the
doing of certain acts shall consti-
tute crime and subject the offend
erto punishment. In this view
of the subject all violators of law
should be punished; but deputies
are urged to discriminate, as far as
possible, between those offenses
which are willful, substantial,
crimes and those which are of
mere technical or trifling character.
The prosecution of offenders of
this latter character involves ex-
pense as great as though the crimes
were heinous and brings the law
and the court into disrepute.

Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine
for March opens with the eighth
Of the late Mr.. Powell's "Leaves

ofThomas Carlyle in the same gos-

poem, "From Henceforth Sin No
More" by S. B. Elliott, is in this
humber. 1t is above the average
of magazine verse. Illustrated ar
ticles on "Russian Schools, "
"Some Memories of the Tuileries, "
"a Buried Greek City in Egypt" "
and Famous English Literary
Women" give variety and interest
to this number. The last-mention-
ed article is accompanied by six
portraits. "The Bible Glass Exer.
